Ingredients

1	box UNCLE BEN’S® Long Grain & Wild Rice Original Recipe (6 oz.)
1/4	cup roasted peanuts (unsalted), coarsely chopped
1	Tbsp. fresh ginger finely minced
4	Tbsp. fresh basil slivered
2	Tbsp. unsalted butter
1/2	cup scallions finely chopped
1/3	cup dried cranberries
2 1/4	cups water

Instructions

1. In a 2-quart saucepan, add rice, spice packet, water and 1 tablespoon of butter. Bring to a boil, stir, and reduce heat to very low. Cover pot and cook 20 minutes, stirring once.
2. Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in a 9-inch skillet. Add scallions and ginger, and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, until scallions soften. Add peanuts and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until the peanuts get a little crispy. Remove from heat.
3. After the rice has been cooking for 20 minutes, add dried cranberries to the rice. Cook 5 minutes longer, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat; transfer to a large warm bowl.
4. Using a fork, stir in scallion-peanut mixture and 3 tablespoons basil. Mix well. Scatter remaining basil on top and serve.
